EQUIS XXL Accreditation Seminar

The EQUIS Team is offering a new accreditation seminar format in 2015, the EQUIS XXL Accreditation Seminar. While our other offerings serve informational purposes, this seminar follows an executive education format. It has been designed as an enabler for, in particular, EQUIS project leaders of institutions already in process.

ContentThe seminar has been designed to provide in-depth guidance on how to complete the different steps of the EQUIS accreditation process successfully. Participants will gain detailed insights on how to compile a Data Sheet and a Self-Assessment Report, how to organize an effective Peer Review Visit and how to manage the post-accreditation phase including the write-up of progress reports.The objective of the seminar is to move distinctly beyond the EQUIS documents and to let participants gain first-hand insights into the Do’s and Don’ts when managing an EQUIS accreditation project.

Target GroupThe seminar is targeted at institutions already awarded eligibility or accreditation as well as institutions currently preparing their application for eligibility. It is relevant for Accreditation Officers (EQUIS Project Leaders), Deans and Associate Deans in charge of accreditations.FULLY BOOKED. Registration is now closed.
